When I return to my room, I mentally summon the game's menu and select [Y] to claim my rewards. Suddenly, a tingling sensation envelops my body, accompanied by the familiar sound of game notifications.

I place my hand on the wall next to the door and I'm momentarily blinded by a flash of light, followed by the appearance of a door. Curiosity gets the better of me, and I use my ability to observe it, leading to a surprising discovery.

The increased level of my observation skill confirms that this door is far from ordinary. My next observation provides more insight:
[Portal Door (Epic):
This door serves as a doorway to any place the gamer owns.
Features:
1. Invisible to all except the gamer and those granted permission.
2. Time dilation at three times slower than normal.
3. Immediate teleportation back to the gamer's room when anyone approaches the door to his room.

Armed with this knowledge, I can't resist opening the door to explore. Inside, I find an empty room with two doors adorning the walls. Although I have an inkling of their purpose, I decide to observe them.
[Laboratory (Epic):
The dream laboratory of every scientist.
Features:
1. Incorruptible Artificial Intelligence exclusively bound to the gamer.
2. A wide array of biological specimens available for experimentation, subject to the gamer's fulfillment of requirements.
3. Time dilation adjustable by the gamer, limited to four times slower than normal.

Contemplating which door to explore first, I settle on the laboratory. Stepping inside, I'm greeted by a male voice with a subtle robotic undertone.
"Welcome, sir. How may I assist you?" it says.
"Hello. I assume you're the AI mentioned in the game?" I inquire.
"Yes, sir. May I know your name?" it replies.
"I'm Peter Parker, but you can call me Peter. And what shall I call you?" I respond.
"I don't have a name. Can you suggest some for me?" It ask politely.
"It's an honor. Try some of these names : Aether, Zax, Nexus, Epsilon." I suggest.
"I would prefer to be called Nexus, sir. Thank you for assisting me in choosing a name," Nexus answers.
While conversing with Nexus, I take a closer look at the laboratory. It's an expansive and mesmerizing space, housing cutting-edge equipment, pristine workstations, and meticulously organized shelves brimming with resources.
The laboratory seamlessly integrates advanced technology and ingenious design. At its core stands a towering central workstation adorned with a state-of-the-art computer system capable of executing intricate simulations, analyzing data, and conducting precise experimental models. This is where Nexus resides.
To the left, a series of sleek and adaptable lab benches await experimentation, equipped with specialized tools and instruments positioned for seamless workflow. Microscopes, centrifuges, spectrometers, and an array of other sophisticated devices eagerly await to assist in unraveling the universe's mysteries.
Nestled in a corner, a temperature-controlled chamber houses an impressive collection of diligently preserved biological specimens. Meticulously arranged shelves safeguard vials, petri dishes, and cryogenic storage containers, preserving the specimens within.
Venturing deeper into the laboratory, I come across a section dedicated to chemicals. Countless shelves display an abundance of glassware, flasks, beakers, and a diverse range of chemical reagents.
Adjacent to the chemical domain, an engineering zone beckons with an assortment of precision tools and cutting-edge machinery.
I also notice a scientific chamber and upon inquiry, Nexus informs me that it's designed for conducting extremely hazardous experiments safely.
Utilizing my observation ability, I uncover some shocking information about the lab's contents:
[Computer System (Rare):
Possesses five times the processing power and storage capacity of the world's best computers. Nexus resides within.

[Human Clone: An ethically unproblematic clone of a human for experimentation purposes.]
[Mutant Clone: An ethically unproblematic clone of a mutant for experimentation purposes.]
[Inhuman Clone (Locked)]
[Kree Clone (Locked)]
[Skrull Clone (Locked)]
[Apocalypse's Blood (Rare) (Locked)]
[Symbiote (Rare) (Locked)]
[Super-Soldier Serum (Rare) (Locked)]

[Uru (Epic) (Locked)]
[Essence of Chthon (Epic) (Locked)]
[Essence of Dormammu (Epic) (Locked)]
[Endo-Sym Armor Blueprint (Rare) (Locked)]
These items are truly extraordinary. Although I may not have access to them at the moment, who's to say I won't in the future? After familiarizing myself with the laboratory's basics, I bid Nexus farewell and head to the gym.
Upon entering the gym, I'm greeted by a vast, empty space and a young man seated on the floor. As he catches sight of me, he stands and bows respectfully.
"Welcome, Master Parker. I am John, your personal trainer," he says.
"Hello, John. Pleasure to meet you. How does this room function?" I inquire while scanning the spacious, empty expanse.
"With pleasure, Master Parker. You see, this room can transform into anything you desire for training purposes. Just think of what you want," John explains, visibly pleased.
"Alright, so this room is like the Room of Requirement but tailored for training. Let's give it a try." I focus on my desire for a meditation mat, and to my surprise, one materializes on the floor as if conjured from thin air.
Curiosity piqued; I use my observation ability to learn more:
[Meditation Mat (Rare): Instantly induces calmness and increases meditation efficiency by 2 percent.]
Emboldened by this discovery, I think big and envision a standard gym. Before me, a spacious and vibrant environment takes shape. The gym floor is covered in rubberized flooring, providing a comfortable and safe surface for exercise.
The centerpiece of the gym is a wide array of exercise equipment thoughtfully arranged across the floor. Rows of treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, and rowing machines beckon, offering options for cardiovascular workouts. Each machine boasts a modern design and digital displays to track progress and monitor vital metrics.
Adjacent to the cardio area, a dedicated space awaits strength training enthusiasts. Weight machines and free weights, including dumbbells, barbells, and weight benches, cater to specific muscle groups, accommodating both beginners and advanced users.
In another corner, a designated area for functional training and bodyweight exercises entices with open floor space, stability balls, resistance bands, medicine balls, and suspension trainers. It's the perfect spot to focus on core strength, flexibility, and overall functional fitness.
To enhance the workout experience, convenient amenities such as locker rooms with showers and changing areas are available for freshening up before or after sessions. Additionally, a water station and vending machines stocked with refreshments ensure hydration throughout workouts.
I glance at my phone and notice it's already midnight which means it is 21:00 in normal time. Recognizing the need for rest, I decide to call it a night, knowing that tomorrow marks the beginning of an exciting journey.
"I'll see you tomorrow, John," I bid Nexus farewell.
"See you tomorrow as well, Master Parker," John replies as I exit the gym.
After exiting the gymnasium, I returned to the empty room with its two doors. Deciding to leave, I stepped through and found myself back in my own room. Curiosity got the better of me, and I checked the time once again to confirm the functionality of the time dilation. The clock displayed 21:00, confirming that the time dilation was indeed working as intended.
Feeling a pang of hunger, I made my way downstairs to find Aunt May already at the table, busy preparing the food.
"I was just about to call you down, Peter. I'm glad you're here. Take a seat and enjoy your meal," Aunt May said warmly upon spotting me.
"Good evening, Aunt May. The aroma of the food drew me in," I replied with a mischievous smile.
"You rascal, just eat your food and then off to bed," she retorted, her smile revealing a mix of affection and playfulness.
As we savored our meal, we engaged in pleasant conversation. Once we finished eating, I bid Aunt May goodnight and made my way to bed, filled with anticipation for the exciting journey that awaited me on the morrow.
